समृद्घि-प्राप्तिः। पय॑स्वती॒रोष॑धयः॒ पय॑स्वन्माम॒कं वचः॑ । अथो॒ पय॑स्वतीना॒मा भ॑रे॒ऽहं स॑हस्र॒शः

Ye milk-rich Herbs; milk-rich be my proper speech. Yea, of the milk-rich (store) I bring unto myself a thousandfold.
जिन पौधों में दूध जैसी शक्ति है, वो मेरे बात को भी ऐसी ही शक्ति दें। मैं उस शक्ति को हज़ारों गुना अपने पास बुला लेता हूँ।
